Calin makes her long-form debut with this funny, feel-good
middle-grade graphic novel about change.
Goodbye, old life...
Lia and her family are waiting to board a flight across the Atlantic,
leaving behind family, friends, and Romania - the only home
Lia has ever known.
But Lia's heartache is overshadowed by the discomfort of her first
period. As if things weren't difficult enough! Now
Lia is thrust into a world where everything is different: her
home, her language, and even her body.
With so many changes happening at once, Lia struggles with schoolwork,
has trouble communicating with classmates, and has no idea
how to manage her unpleasant periods.
Will she ever feel like herself again?
Inspired by the author's own immigration experience, The New
Girl is a comically charming story about change and acceptance.
